This is an icon of a file folder. The folder is a perfect square in shape and has a slightly raised tab on the top. The lip of the folder comes down as a line right below the top of the folder.

This Folder icon has Android KitKat style. If you use the icons for Android apps, we recommend using our latest Material Icons icon pack (please check our sidebar on the right). Otherwise, it's a solid icon pack that looks good in small resolutions, either on the web or in print. It's characterized by thick lines, smooth corners, and is optimized for 24x24 pixels.

Story about Folder Icon

This is a folder icon. It’s yours to download for free. You could use this icon for many things, such as the icon for a folder of music. Or you could replace the address book picture of your girlfriend with this so the folder icon pops up every time she calls. Then she jealously looks through your phone while you’re in the shower and wonders who this super beautiful folder icon is and why she’s calling you multiple times a day. There is a heated fight and your girlfriend is crying, and you are crying, too. Things were said in anger to each other but broken hearts can sometimes never be mended. You kiss one final time and part ways. It is for the best, you tell yourself. A knock at the door, but who could it be? You open the door, already knowing the answer in your soul. It is the folder icon. You hold each other, heart beating against heart. You are destined to be together. This is an eternal love.
